Perfection in theory and in spirit…



What is perfection? How can you say that a person is perfect or not? Is there any criteria of perfection or it is just a chance that someone seems perfect to us when we see a person? The secret of perfection is in the secret of human existence….

Human beings are dynamic, their behaviors, their deeds and everything related to humans are dynamic in nature. This means they constantly change. This is also true in the case of perfectionism. What may be perfect for you might not mean perfect for another person. For someone a person who is understanding may be perfect, and for someone the one who gives maximum time is perfect. But one thing no one can deny that perfectionism is not static. Perfection is dynamic too. You might be perfect in your work, but may not be perfect in your personal relations. This is because the one who has the power to judge your perfection is not you. It is another human soul. And as mentality of a person changes from a person to person, so is the definition of perfection. You might be perfect in your eyes, but not in the eyes of the one who live with you or work with you. This is just because different people in your life expect differently from you. And as their expectations differ from each other so is the criteria of their perfectionism for you. If you fulfill one’s desire,
you are perfect, else you are not.


The same applies to me too. For me perfectionism is something which a person can attain only at personal levels and not in the eyes of the world. For me perfectionism is just the ability to fulfill everything which is expected from you. If you are able to fulfill every desire which is expected from you, you are perfect, and in short, no one is perfect in that sense, because you can never make everyone happy in your life and you can never meet the demands of everyone. So, if you feel you are not perfect that is just because you are unable to meet others expectations, not because you have some fault or inherent disability. If you really want to feel confident, create your very own definition of perfectionism and stick to it. You might be termed selfish when you would do so, but be very sure about yourself and you will surely sail through this world happily and with the contentment of being a perfectionist if you keep meeting up your own expectations from yourself.

How corporate professionalism helped me in learning the art of self-appreciation?

It’s been a long while that I wrote something for myself. Though being a full-time content writer, busy in playing with words all day long, who people think of as a word-wizard- never short of something to write, I have, of late, fell short of words to define what I feel about my passion. I started off as a content writer & still, I am that- it’s not that my passion has faded, it is still strong and growing every day, still I sometimes feel I am not doing much for myself. Writing every day for brands and companies- fuelling their aspirations to grow more and more through advertisements, e-mailers, marketing collaterals, etc., I have somehow felt guilty of not helping myself much with my growth journey. But is it my fault… or is it just situational? I am not the type who shifts the blame to professional or personal condition, so I take it upon myself for my mistake. I have not been much serious about my journey, passion and efforts. But through my realization, I came up wit...

On a path to glory

I have been lost before. in a pool of confusions, that delve inside my head. I have been lost before, in a tide of self-doubt, that crept inside my heart.. I have been lost before, in the guilt of underperforming I have been lost before, at nights with unstoppable mourning Through the years I learned, it does not matter If I am lost, I will surely be found And if no one finds me, I myself will one day walk past this maze To do something worthwhile and to amaze All those who laughed at the time when I was lost All those who created a sense of self-doubt, who made me face this ghost I have learned that the fears are just inside All we have is a beautiful world with opportunities, that is real and is outside So, I rise again from this pool of confusion, Yes I rise again from this guilt and emotion, I know am hard at heart when it comes to the topic of self-achievement But what is an achievement, without a little attitude All I want you is to kno...

Yuun to mein - Hindi Poem

After days of being in solitude and calm, my mind took inspiration from these famous lines and my pen started working to complete a piece in the form of a poem.  ' Yuun to mein tanhaa hi tha safar mein Log judte gye karwaan banta gya….' Kuch mili apni si shaksiyatein Aur unke hi sahare me aage bdhta gaya… Sikha mene bahut iss safar mein… Naa jaane kyu fir bhi me pichadta gya… Jo sath nibhate chale sang mere… Unse hi me zindagi jeena sikhta gya… Ek aasra mil sa gya tha uss karvaan ki chaav mein Aisa laga jaise hu mein samundar ko cheerti naav mein Jaana tha naa mene tab Ki ye karvaan bhi chhalava sa hai Is kaarvaan ka sahara sabko hai Par apna yha koi na hai Khud par shaq to kabhi na tha Kabiliyat par ek anjana sa yakin sat ha Koshish ko apni kamm na karunga Apni manzil ko rahunga me dhundhta Kal ko ye kaarvaan rahe na rahe sang mere Manzil ko apni mein paake rahunga Koi ho ya na ho sang sath dene ko Sukoon ki chaav me ek...
